This beer pours a nice opaque black, with no edges, and a multitude of foamy, rocky beige head, which leaves some random curtains of lace around the glass as it wanes. It smells of caramel malt, roasted coffee, bitter chocolate, and some earthy, meaty character. The taste is chocolate malt, espresso, and earthy, somewhat tangy hops. Any effect from the elevated alcohol is well-hidden. The carbonation is moderate, the body smooth, slick, and medium weighted, and finishes with a flourish of dry chocolate and a bit more hops.

Pours black with a small head.
Nose shows fresh coffee, roasted barley and cardamon. A faint cardboard notes shows through.
More cardamon as a flavour, the coffee is much less noticeable however. Seems to fall short quickly.
Body feels a bit watery.

This interesting beer pours a very dark brown black color with a thick white head and a little lacing and a little carbonation. Smells of tasty cocoa and a little coffee and roasted malts. Taste is where it falls flat. Tastes of slight hints of coffee, cocoa, and roasted malts and then a very bland sortof alkaline taste. Mouthfeel is medium and has a little carbonation. Drinkability is alright.

Extreme catrbonation. The first oz turned entirely into foam - about 16oz of it, when poured. Took me 3 or 4 pours and abot 10 minutes to get it all into the glass. It's dense opaque black, with a light tan head.

Taste carries many of the same notes as the aroma, but here, it's almost plesant. Definitely got a caramelly sweetness to it, sort of a burnt malt-sugar. The coffee is kinda nice here too. It tastes like a dark caramel macchiato. But the ashyness is a little off-putting.

waaay too much carbonation. Turns instantly into foam when you drink it.

It has some promise, but its flaws really prevent it from being an enjoyable, drinkable brew.

It looks alright for a stout. Nice and dark, creamy-brown frothy head with lots of little bubbles. It looked a bit thin, kind of like cola, when it was poured.

Smell is pretty nice. Strong coffee and alcohol aroma, along with a sweet dark malt smell. Definitely made me excited to taste it...

The taste was a little disappointing. After drinking it, the first flavour that came to mind was plasticine (I tried it when I was a kid... what of it?). It was pretty sweet with an almost acidic bite, and the flavours didn't compliment the high abv. That being said, it has a nice chocolate-cappuccino after-taste.

Not too bad of a mouth feel. A bit thin.

I would definitely say this one is worth at least trying. It's not one I'd have very often. I imagine it'd be cool to try it out in its home country.
